PLAUD: New Neural Synthesizer for Live Electronic Music Performance Unveiled

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper introduces PLAUD (Performative Latents and Unsupervised DDSP), a neural synthesizer designed for live electronic music performance. PLAUD integrates a variational DDSP synthesis model with a Transformer prior, utilizing component limiting, waveshaping, and prior feedback for direct intervention in the synthesis chain. The system's design emphasizes its performative nature, stemming from architectural choices rather than added features, and includes a Max for Live interface for control generation and modulation.
